All: I have been following some of the debates in the thread that Rudolf started about MASSOB. It seems that Rudolf has some things he wants to get off his chest. Some of us have things we want to say too. But we would prefer to do so in a more private setting. I was wondering if we could request that the Administrator of BiafraNigeriaWorld create a private forum on this site, which will be accessible to members only for the purpose of discussing certain Igbo issues out of the view of ndi iro anyi. I sent an e-mail to the Administrator already about this. But, he replied that since there was no parallel Hausa, Yoruba, or Minority counterparts in existence at BiafraNigeriaWorld, he might be interested in creating a private Igbo forum at BiafraNigeriaWorld only if there was popular demand for it. So, what do you think?

Ojukwu, Thanks for this great idea. I am fully in support of such an arrangement. We need to rob minds together without exposing ourselves to Ndi iro.

Who is an "Igbo"? One who speaks the language or was born in any of states in the "Igbo" land or one whose biological parents are considered Igbo?
It is most ridiculous for folks to always think out more ways of worsening present myopia through ethnic dark holes. When will they detribalize? Ain't parochial cultural organization sufficient for discussing "private" ethnic matters?

Ikpatt: Are you worried that once we set up a private Igbo forum at BiafraNigeriaWorld, you will no longer be able to spy on us and report to your boss in Abuja?

Guys, u all should know that our brother from the East Ikaptt has a mental problem. I have advised him to seek mental help but he doesn't want to.
Ikaptt U are an unrepented Igbo hater and we all know that so please don't try to sneak yourself into any private Igbo forum. WE've had enough of your nonsense.
Forumites If it is possible, the Igbo forum should be open to all pro Biafrans, Igbos and Eastern minorities like Enobong, Akpan, etc. The Efiks, and ther minorities are our neighbors and we all are culturally and historically related. Uwazuruike said that the proper inclusion of all Easterners in the actualization of Biafra will be good and will help actualize Biafra. MASSOB members are a mixture of Igbos, Efiks, Ibibios, Anangs, etc. Ikpatt the sabo can go and form his own damn private forum at Oduduwa.com. The guy can rot over there as far as I am concerned.
Ikpatt An efulefu like u will later regret being an anti Biafran but by that time it will be too late for u to save your hopeless soul. U'll be another Ken Saro Wiwa. You'll be in hell (Nigeria) crying like a wimp while we'll be in Heaven (Biafra) looking down at you and laughing at your stupidity and frustration. Ikpatt you are not a detribalised person so stop deceiving yourself. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting a private Igbo Forum 'cause sabos like u cannot be trusted. What makes u think that any pro Biafran will want to have an open forum for a moronic anti biafran like u to come and spy on. Go and work for your Nigerian masters but in the end they'll deal with u. THE LOSER.
BiafraNigeriaWorld....the names says it all. Any more creation will make this link a dull one. If it is not broken don't fix it. The purpose of this link is for all to voice out their goddamned opinion based on free speech. A flip side of NigeriaWorld. Speak and you shall be heard. That is what Biafra is all about. Biafra is a diverse culture of defenders of free world. Yes, you heard me Netzero, no compromize with freedom.
I came here to be heard by all ethnic groups. In addition, Biafra is not Igbo, it is for those who believe in it, precisely Eastern region. This link serves it's purpose by way of originality.We must not abandon our brothers [Cross Rivers and Nde Mba]and sisters for they have the same cause too. The Yorubas can go to hell with their tribal sentiment. It has not worked for them because of their politics of exclusion. That is one reason they have OPC after several years. Phillip Effiong is not Igbo and yet he fought against the repellent skunks. This is about Biafra.
Hail Biafra

Biafra should be all about inclusion. For those who have something private to say, I imagine there already exist forums for that. There is strength in the diversity of opinions. But having said that, we must realize that we are surrounded by ndi iro, including those within our fold.
Rudolf Okonkwo’s most recent action for example sends cold chills down my spine. Is it possible that he is such a fool as not to realize that he may have fatally compromised fellow Igbos? Is he so idiotic as not to realize that the same vampires that walked the halls of Aso Rock, that dispatched Dele Giwa, Sani Abacha, Moshood Abiola, Kudirat Abiola, Tunde Idiagbon etc. are still very much around? Or is this the 30 pieces of silver in action?
My take is keeping the forum as it is presently but those who have confidential information could take it to the parallel forums.

Anu Nti: Well said. Seriously, I never knew Rudolf was that dumb, to expose Igbo confidential matters in a message board. I think I mentioned that in another thread. What a waste!

Waypoint and Anu nti Thank u for voicing your own positive opinion about this issue of a private Igbo Forum. You are right, Biafra is not Igbo. It is a mixture of ethnic groups in the East that believe in freedom and self determination so we shouldn't start dividing the East. A united East is stronger than a divided East or Biafra. Let us not make the same mistake that our leaders and elders in the East made in Nigeria. Such mistakes can ruin our beloved nation Biafra when it is actualised. The forum should be a private forum for all Biafrans, (Igbos, Ibibios, Annangs etc.), where certain issues can be discussed without an outsider but at the same we already have this forum where everyone is free to voice his or her own opinion but that person must be ready for some tough oppositions. I am a pro BIAFRAN and will oppose an anti Biafran. Posts: 615 | From: Houston, Texas | Registered: Jun 2001

This messageboard is BiafraNigeriaWorld. Thus, if private forums are to be created, there should be two of them - one for the Biafrans , and one for the Nigerians. There is no need to create a Huasa, Yoruba, or any other ethnic forum. I would not like to see a private Igbo forum emanate from BiafraNigeriaWorld. Otherwise, I will ask for a private Ibibio forum. Many of you know me personally. So, you know where I am coming from.

Rudolf has gotten more attention, and I believe, we would be better off ignoring him. Is Rudolf important to Biafra actualization? And, who is he, by the way? Presumably, a local champion.
